James Franco’s ‘The Disaster Artist’ Has A Cameo By Tommy Wiseau As weird asJames Franco’s next filmThe Disaster Artistsounds, it probably doesn’t stand much chance of being weirder than the film it’s about:The Room, the famously terrible romantic drama that’s gone from little-seen oddity to ironic cult favorite. For starters, whereas director / writer / starTommy Wiseau’s oblivious ineptitude accounts for a lot ofThe Room’s outsider charms,The Disaster Artist, which follows the making of that movie, is made by professionals with experience appealing to more or less mainstream audiences....

Gina Carano To Star In Knockout, Soderbergh’s Spy Adventure The mixed martial arts fighterGina Caranois to make her big screen starring debut inSteven Soderbergh’sKnockout, a spy drama he’s comparing toJames Bondbut also sounds to me a little like Luc Besson’sNikita.

The screenplay forKnockouthas been written byLem Dobbs, who had a hand in writingDark Cityand was previously responsible for scripting Soderbergh’sThe LimeyandKafka, as well asEdward Ford, reputedly one of the great unproduced screenplays of all time....
